hello I am using JSQMessagesViewcontroller to make a chatapp, I need to add an extra property to JSQMessages to give each message an ID. and I also need to override the first convenience init to use this function: 

self.JSQmessages.append(JSQCell(senderId: self.senderId,displayName: self.senderDisplayName, text: message.text))

this is what their message cell looks like 

public class JSQMessage : NSObject, JSQMessageData, NSCoding, NSCopying {
    public var senderId: String! { get }
    public var senderDisplayName: String! { get }
    @NSCopying public var date: NSDate! { get }
    public var isMediaMessage: Bool { get }
    public var text: String! { get }
    @NSCopying public var media: JSQMessageMediaData! { get }
    
public convenience init!(senderId: String!, displayName: String!, text: String!)
   
public init!(senderId: String!, senderDisplayName: String!, date: NSDate!, text: String!)
    
public convenience init!(senderId: String!, displayName: String!, media: JSQMessageMediaData!)
  
public init!(senderId: String!, senderDisplayName: String!, date: NSDate!, media: JSQMessageMediaData!)
}

I tried subclassing, but I'm really new to ios development and can never get it right. this is what I have so far.

class JSQCell : JSQMessage {
var MessageId: String?
 required init(senderId: String!, displayName: String!, text: String!, MessageId: String!)



required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
    fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
}

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

All you need 'to do is conform your message object to the 'JSQMessageData' protocol and then you can add as many custom variables as you would like. I outline it in this question. https://stackoverflow.com/a/38884743/5894123
